Why? What does a stable name matter in the case you mentioned?

Were you actually using ifupdown to manage the varied set of wireless networks? Because if not, then the name shouldn't matter.
Yes, I’m using ifupdown. Besides USB NICs don’t have to be WiFi.You may switch the the naming scheme in virtual environments, but only here.
SLES is using some strange interface names like em1 or p1p2, but I hate it. I prefer my eth0 name.
